Thats about what I get in the city, maybe you need a tune-up. Or maybe you don't run your car as far out of gas as I do.
You should talk in MPG's. Measure your miles from your last fill up and then divide that by the number of gallons it takes when you fill up the tank again. Those numbers are much more accurate.

depends greatly for me... city 300+ highway 450+... but i have noticed something rather strange... there is a BP station near me... and every time i fill up there i get atleast 45-50 more miles on a tank.... even compared to other BP stations... and always 93 octane. but all of this equals out to be about 19-21mpg city and about 27-31mpg highway. is this average?

So 25.4 mpg, and it's been that way even before I did my hybrid.

Has it been about a week?? WHen I converted to a Hybrid from CAI, 1st thing I noticed was loss of low end. During that time, I would push the car harder to get over the loss, so mileage suffered. Took about a week, but the ECU adjusted. Now I don't need to floor it as much.

I think you and Steve Marsh have pushed the 4th gen past 500 miles/tank. I think Setve Marsh was 512 miles 
That's awesome! You guys must feather the throttle alot, use cruise control often, and cruise somewhere in the area of 65-75 mph.
I gotta say, on a road trip, I don't

350-450 per tank, mostly city, quite a bit of highway though. about 24-28 mpg. my highest is 500 per tank, including 50-60 city miles.
I've gotten as low as 0.75 mpg, but that was because of a ripped fuel line.

Yeah, that sucking sound gets intense on those long roadtrips. You feel like your hand will be sucked in if you hold the cap too close
